M.A.S.H.

We all remember the game M.A.S.H. from childhood. While going through my YA Librarian blogs today (because I haven't had time all week) I found this blog post from ForeverYA that had an interview with author Anthony John. For some reason, at the end of the interview, they had him do a M.A.S.H. game for himself. (Maybe not so odd though considering they do address YA life and culture in the blog and M.A.S.H. better well be a part of that!

Here was his game, which made me laugh...

And now, it’s time for everyone’s favorite psychic prediction game, MASH! As always, Antony provided three options and we provided a fourth unsavory one. The random number was seven. Play on, playas!

So - with this as inspiration, I present the M.A.S.H. game of a 27 year old (I can't believe I'm really that old!)

PET

Ok - now this is just wrong - I live in a house. I can see that. And I love David but he would totally cheat on me. I mean, look at everyone else he's cheated on. Then, we honeymoon in LA but live in Paris. Something tells me we got a little mixed up on that one. Also, with the Pinto. If I'm an author and making $10 million I think I can do better than a pinto. And what the what is up with the tarantula!?! It must belong to one of the 21 kids we have which might be a contributing factor to our life in Paris. The paps don't bug celebs much there so David and I can live in semi peace inbetween his cheating spurts.

Here was the ideal list:
LIVING - anything but a shack
SPOUSE - Nathan Fillion
HONEYMOON - Paris, France
KIDS - 3
JOB - Zoologist (Something I've always dreamed of doing if I could pass the advanced math and chem classes)
INCOME - $10 million (I'm not too greedy, plus, Nathan makes good money)
HOMETOWN - LA
PET - cat
CAR - Mini-Cooper (that will just be mine. We'll also need something to haul around our kids and Nathan will have his own as well)

Failure to Bloginate

I know when I started this blog that I set out to post about once a week or more. Obviously this has been a phenominal failure. I mean, just look at my blog stats!

November (2)
October (0)
September (1)
August (2)
July (13)

In the future I will make it a mission to update the world on my life, thoughts, what have you on a more regular basis.

But right now? I'm going to bed.

Blog Share

My newest blog share is for fellow librarian and other nerds. It has some of the best of the web related to books, libraries, movies, YouTube videos, etc. I love it. Scroll through the past posts and be informed and entertained.



Here's something educational from a recent post....


THIS JUST IN: MAJORITY OF LIBRARIANS ARE CAT PEOPLE
Fact: A majority of librarians are cat people.
Fact: Only a librarian would conduct a survey on librarian pets.

Such vital statistics!

The Triple Monday

Today has been long and tiring. And it's not even over yet!

Maybe the reason is because this is actually the third Monday of the week for me.

Last night I had two separate dreams that involved my going about my daily Monday tasks.

Dream #1: Wake up, go to work for 8 hours, come home. Nothing special happened but I totally went through the entire day!

Dream #2: Wake up, get ready to go to work only to find my tire is dead, slashed or just punctured. Either way, I apparently didn't have a spare and my dad had to go to Blo-No and get a new tire. I made it to work around noon, finished up the day, and came home.

Dream#3/Reality: Wake up really confused thinking it at least has to be Tuesday, right? Get ready, go to work, remember and go to CIRCL (Central Illinois Regional Childrens' Librarians) meeting where a lady is wearing too much perfume, get headache, head back to library and work 3 hours on the ref desk, post this blog....

Needless to say, I'm ready to go home. The thing that's keeping me slightly cheery today? The knowledge that tonight I get to watch the 200th episode of Dancing With The Stars and a new, and hopefully swoon-worthy episode of Castle.

Sad, but true.
